Patient and Caregiver Priorities in Neuro-oncology Care

Study Purpose

This study is being done to identify patient and caregiver burdens regarding their experience with diagnosis and treatment of CNS tumors. These results will help doctors find areas where patients and caregivers may need more support.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	Yes
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Describe the patient experience and characterize the symptom burden related to primary or metastatic central nervous system tumors.

II. Describe the caregiver experience and caregiver needs related to patients with primary or metastatic central nervous system tumors.

III. Establish which interventional treatment outcomes are important to patients and caregivers, within a wider understanding of their lived experience with CNS tumors and their treatment.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients and their caregivers participate in interviews on study. Patients also have their medical records reviewed on study.
